Chapter 051: The Book of Longling Silk (I)

"I know, what you want is the Longling Silk Book, I can help you" Xiaojiao put down the food in his hand at the moment.

"You know the Longling Silk Book," I couldn't help but be curious.

"I know, not only do I know, but I also have an important secret."

As soon as these words came out, my eyes widened.

"It's true, what a secret"

I don't want Xiaojiao to be a smart person, she knows that it may not be a wise move to talk to me and me at this time, so she naturally has to hide something and turn passive into active.

"Haha, you're really a smart person, and I like to deal with smart people." I smiled and said, "In that case, why don't we make a deal, as long as you tell me the secrets you know, and help me get the Longling Silk Book, I can guarantee that you will leave safe and sound." ”

"You've said that, I think we can reach a consensus on cooperation." Xiaojiao smiled, "However, I can't promise you this deal so simply, and besides, I not only want to leave safely, but I also want you to promise me to protect me for the rest of my life and avoid being hunted down."

"You mean to say that Ji Weiyu will trouble you in the future"

"That's for sure, although I don't know much about Ji Weiyu, she is very mysterious, but it can be seen from Yun Rong's style that she must be vicious and will not let me go."

"You're doing this shrewdly." I nodded, "Don't worry, send the Buddha to the west, since I promised to take you away, I will protect you." ”

"How can I trust you?"

I don't want Xiaojiao to ask this question.

I was stunned and asked, "How do you think you can believe it?"

"There is no evidence, what if you turn your face and don't admit it"

"Okay, good, I'm really convinced of you, then what conditions do you say?"

"Although you have promised to protect me now, but I am not related to you, and when it comes to life and death, how can I believe that you are willing to save me, and you are just trying to know the secret in my heart, and there is no actual entanglement of interests."

"What you said, according to what you said, this deal can't be done, whether there is friendship or not is decided in the mother's womb, if you feel uneasy, now you can worship the son, you recognize me as your brother, and you will not suffer. If you think this can't work, then I'll give you my net worth and life, but I won't bring so much money with Xia Dou, and I'll only have a few things on my body if I'm worth a little more, which one do you want, I'll mortgage it to you."

"You're serious, I'm not messing around." Xiaojiao said seriously, "This matter is very important, and we must not say anything."

"Yes, then tell me if there is a good way to dispel your worries and conform to our current situation, the best of both worlds."

Xiaojiao thought about it for a long time and looked at me in embarrassment.

I know that she is engaged in a struggle of ideas, and I don't want to force her, so I can't rush this matter, otherwise she may give up cooperation, and it will not be cost-effective.

"You close your eyes first"

I was stunned, looked at her in surprise, and asked, "What are you doing with your eyes closed?"

"Shut it up and shut it up"

I wasn't sure what she was doing, but I didn't think much of it, so I obediently did it, closed my eyes, and thought it wasn't a big deal.

It didn't take long for Xiaojiao to say that she could open her eyes. At this point, I had no idea what the hell she was up to, so I opened my eyes.

I don't know if I don't know, and I'm scared when I open it.

I saw that at this time there was a white and flawless body standing in front of me, in this dark underground world, this kind of

The indescribable whiteness is extremely shocking.

"What are you doing here" I was startled, my face suddenly became hot, and I immediately turned away.

"I have no other way, I can only gain security by giving my body to you, firmly tied to you."

"You're just fooling around, you have to cherish your reputation"

"It doesn't matter, I'll hand over my reputation to you, you can protect it for me, right?"

When she asked, I was completely passive.

On the one hand, Xiaojiao's promise is her next step for self-preservation, but on the other hand, it also shows that she has no way out, and this is the only opportunity she can fight for herself.

And she voted for me this opportunity, which shows that she still has some trust in me.

Although, this trust may just be for the sake of surviving.

"Why do you have to do this, you could have done better"

"There's no better way, you're a man and I'm a woman, and the only thing I'm attracted to you is this shell."

"You can't say that, there is still trust in this world."

"There is no trust, only profit"

"No matter what you say, I can't agree to your request" I am also a person with integrity, even if she takes the initiative to give her arms, I can't be without a position.

"If you don't agree, I'll end up on my own, anyway, I won't be able to live, but the secret you want to know will never be obtained"

Xiaojiao actually used the secret of the Longling Silk Book to blackmail me, which put me in a dilemma again. Many people will say that even when facing a dilemma, they must stick to their principles and ethics, and some people can sacrifice their lives for principles, beliefs, and even sacrifice their lives, to be honest, when it comes to that moment, I will not hesitate, but many times, this kind of choice happens not when it is either/or, but like now, she is just a poor person who is struggling to survive, and does not hesitate to sacrifice her innocence for her desire to survive, compared to her sacrifice, my principles and positions seem to be worthless.

What human nature is actually only two points of survival, and reproduction. There is no good or evil in these two points.

Is motherhood human, yes. Mothers sacrifice themselves to protect their children in order to reproduce.

Is it human nature to love beauty? The love of beauty is also to get the opportunity to reproduce.

Is it human nature to flaunt wealth? Boys show off their wealth, just like peacocks, it is a way to fight for the opposite sex and get reproduction.

So, is gratitude human nature, is tolerance human nature, and is it not. These are not human nature, these are morality.

What is the relationship between morality and human nature?

Humans are social animals. The survival and reproduction of individuals and the prosperity and decline of groups have a complex relationship of cause and effect.

For example, if everyone pursues their own survival, the easiest way is to grab food from their own kind, or even kill their own kind. However, in the end, the number of groups decreases, and individuals are unable to fight against foreign enemies, and they will die.

Therefore, after years of evolution, the social attributes of human beings have gradually formed a set of conventions and commonly known norms. This set of norms is called morality.

Gratitude is morality. The essence of gratitude is "the exchange of prepaid fees". You help me first, and I will help you. This will lubricate the collaborative relationship of the group.

Tolerance is morality. The essence of tolerance is "a collaborative system that allows for mistakes". For the purpose of collaboration, the accidental injury caused can be forgiven. This will encourage the courage to collaborate.

Human nature is the individual's pursuit of survival and reproduction

Yan's instinct. However, the humanity of unrestrained individuals is bound to hurt each other.

Morality is used to restrain the individual's humanity and achieve the prosperity of the group. The individual is willing to accept morality because the prosperity of the group ultimately benefits the individual.

So, morality is not human nature, and morality is even anti-human in most cases. It is precisely because morality is often anti-human that it requires a lot of guidance and restraint.

But at this time, I am not stuck in these morals, human nature has nothing to do with good and evil. I should give her a chance, the right to choose to live, and at the same time give myself a chance, the power to choose to help.

"Okay, I promise you," I told her bluntly, not coveting her flesh, but just to give her the security she needed most in her heart in exchange for benefits.

The exchange of interests requires a number of necessary actions.

Of course, it's just a simple formality.

At the end, I couldn't see the slightest "love" on her face, only a pale face, full of haggardness.

"Now, I can say it" Unexpectedly, it was Xiaojiao who spoke first.

"Okay, you say, I'll listen."

Xiao Ji briefly recounted to me the secrets of the Longling Silk Book that she knew.

Among the six of them, each of them had a different mission. Although Yun Rong is the eldest sister, she does not have all the secrets and is only responsible for commanding. This is, of course, an arrangement from Ji Weiyu. The person who has the most important feelings is the old woman, but she is dead. Therefore, to a certain extent, Ji Weiyu's plan is destined to not be fully completed.

And the secrets mastered by Ye Yumeng, Li Jing and Yingfang, like Xiaojiao, revolve around the four important clues of the Longling Silk Book. The place where the Longling Silk Book is hidden is located in the Dragon's Den, Ye Yumeng has the clue to the location of the Dragon's Cave, but he doesn't know the path, Li Jing knows the path but doesn't know how to crack the mechanism, Yingfang got the trick of the mechanism, but the important step of finally obtaining the Silk Book is known by Xiaojiao.

The four of them are interlocking and indispensable, but no one can overstep their responsibilities and contain each other.

"Master." I couldn't help but sigh.

"Then tell me how the silk book should be obtained in the end"

"Seventy years ago, in Kaifeng Mansion, Henan, there were two Guangdong bosses from the south, one surnamed Wang, called Wang Ditu, and the other surnamed Li, called Li Xuewen, both of whom are from Foshan, and have a great reputation in the local antique world, among which Li Xuewen is even more famous, and his fortune is all based on a collection of academic texts that record the location of a large number of ancient tombs."

"I have heard of the anthology, what does this have to do with the Longling Silk Book?"

"And the reason why I know this is because I have eavesdropped on Aunt Ling's words, and only I know about these, and no one else knows about them."

"Oh, then you go on."

"Wang Ditu's family background is not as prominent as Li Xuewen, but his ancestors are courtiers, so his experience is not lower than Li Xuewen."

The so-called pilgrimage refers to the man who works in the pawnshop, sits on the high counter, and judges the value and authenticity of a thing in a short time. Among them, those who are responsible for the appraisal of high-level items and daily administrative affairs are called the Great Pilgrimage. A big pawnshop, the great courtier, can be said to be the person who has seen the most treasures in the world, and he has seen all kinds of strange things.

"His ancestor was a famous courtier, and in his later years he also wrote a notebook called the Eight Treasures Strange Book, which is a strange book, which records the items he thought were strange that he encountered in his life, and recorded in detail the owner's description, his judgment, and so on."
